I think had she added a jacket and some pantyhose that would have been a perfectly appropriate dress for court, certainly it's flattering on her anyway, it just could have been tweaked a little here and there to make it look more professional and less 'clubby'.

Agreed. As MrsJWine puts it, it's klassy, but considering that last time she showed up with a curse word on her manicure, well, it could be a lot worse. However, I'm guessing it didn't impress the judge at all.

I personally don't think it's a appropriate dress for a court appearance. The lack of a bra makes it even less so, IMO .

That's funny because I thought, "Hey, at least she's wearing a bra!"

I believe that she is. I've seen some closer up pics and it looks like she's wearing a white bra.

I agree. I think she looks very cute, but yeah, it's probably a little short for court. But at least everything is covered.

It's not obscene. Too tight and clingy to be totally flattering, but that's her problem, not mine.

But, if clothes are statements (and certainly movie people should know that), it doesn't say, "I am take my situation seriously and am prepared to work to rehabilate myself, physically, mentally, and professionally, if the court is kind enough to give me that option." Instead, it says, "Can we move this hearing along, because there's a club seat waiting for my rear on it."

Which is probably not the best message to send, all things considered here. I'm surprised her lawyers can't persuade her to wear something that says, "I'm clean, I'm sober and I'm serious".

She should've been ticketed by the fashion police. That's one of the most unflattering dresses & it's paired with a necklace that looks like it's a lanyard & it's all tucked in. Her face is pale & her legs are orange... Not something I'd wear to court (or anywhere else), but it does cover everything.

edited cuz I got ticketed by the spelling police...

I couldn't disagree more! I think the dress is very flattering, it makes her look curvy in all the right places, and I think it's very pretty. As for the pale face/orange legs, I think that might be a lighting thing...if you look at the first picture, her face and legs are pretty much the same colour .

I agree. I think she looks fantastic, the best she's looked in a while. Unfortunately, though very cute, the dress is inappropriate for a court appearance. I don't think that makes it rude, though.

I think casually putting the hair up and the lanyard around her neck totally ruin the whole look. I'm not fond of the dress on her, but if you're going to wear something like that, do your hair & accessorize properly...

I've seen worse. Remember when MJ came to court in his PJs? I like the dress, but it's not something I'd wear to court. Court is one of those places where if you want to be taken seriously, conservative dress is essential.

That said, I think what offends me more is not LL's dress, but the way the media is obessing about it. Egypt is falling apart and all I'm hearing about is LL's dress.

Agreed. As MrsJWine puts it, it's klassy, but considering that last time she showed up with a curse word on her manicure, well, it could be a lot worse. However, I'm guessing it didn't impress the judge at all.

The look she was sporting last time was also just as short, showed cleavage, was tighter than this one, and had studs on the jacket.

So this one is a little closer to the mark, while still off. Also, she combed her hair. Bonus points for combing hair before court and washing off last night's makeup.

LOL. Bonus points for not combining 'walk of shame' with court appearance? With LL, we aim low
